On October 17, 2021, a heated altercation took place at Ole Sereni Hotel between Eddie and Paul Ndichu, twin brothers and founders of Wapi Pay, and Murgor sisters, Cheryl and Stephanie. The incident has led to the Ndichu brothers being grilled by detectives at Lang'ata Police Station for more than five hours on Thursday.
During their statement, the Ndichu brothers alleged that the Murgor sisters, nieces of former Director of Public Prosecutions Philip Murgor, were in the company of men on a mission to extort them. They claimed that the sisters are part of an extortion ring.
The Ndichu brothers, who raised $2.2 million (Ksh244 million) in pre-seed capital for Wapi Pay two months ago, are being represented by Edwin Sifuna. They want everyone captured on the CCTV charged with causing an affray, a public offense consisting of the fighting of one or more persons in a public place.
On allegations that they threatened to shoot the Murgor sisters, detectives established that the Ndichu twins are not licensed firearm holders. Once the investigations are completed, the file will be forwarded to the DPP's office for further action.
Cheryl Murgor is a former flight attendant at Kenya Airways and a fashion designer, while Stephanie is also a fashionista.
